[Feature request] Customizable invoice templates

[djzwerg]

The way described here doesn't work with the BD version of Ubercart.

It would be nice to have a documented way to use custom invoice templates or to do this via the UI.

The way described here doesn't work with the BD version of Ubercart.

Which of the three methods were you trying? Backdrop's handling of templates in themes is basically the same as Drupal's, so those Drupal-specific instructions should still work.(*)

For example, if you want to customize the invoice template, move a copy of uc-order--customer.tpl.php into the templates directory of your theme(s), edit that file, then clear all caches. Re-load the invoice page, and you'll see the updated invoice. (This is "The Simplest Way" on that docs page.)

(*) Note that there is a new Backdrop-specific documentation site at www.ubercart.dev. It doesn't yet have this how-to page, though.

@bugfolder yes that way works - making a copy of uc-order--customer.tpl.php. But UC doesn't use the uc-order--customer-bank_transfer.tpl.php file (neither from module folder nor from theme folder). So I think this is really an issue that the uc-order--customer-bank_transfer.tpl.php file won't be used by UC (issue by uc_bank_transfer module). The 'hard way' from the link above won't work, too (issue by UC module).

@djzwerg, have you selected the bank_transfer invoice template in admin/store/settings/orders?

[argiepiano]

There is problem with selecting the bank transfer invoice template in that path I pasted above (Order settings). I've tried everything I can think of - placing the template in the theme's directory, and changing the name to dashes instead of underscores, without success.

I'm not sure if this is a bug with Ubercart or with UC Bank Transfer. I'll investigate later today.

[djzwerg]

@argiepiano yes that was my way to try this out.

@djzwerg I found the problem and have fixed it. I just did a new release of UC Bank Transfer.

Important: for the template uc-order--customer-bank_transfer.tpl.php to work you MUST place it in your front-end theme's template folder. Also you must select customer_bank_transfer in the order settings at admin/store/settings/orders/settings

I've tested it and it works. If you find any issues please post a message in the UC Bank Transfer issue queue.

Thanks @argiepiano ! I'll check this after xmas. Happy holidays!

[djzwerg]

@argiepiano thanks again! Now it works for me to overwrite the bank_transfer template within my theme, too. But 'the hard way' seems to don't work in BD.
